Review of Operations

At the time of writing the Resolution team’s exploration activities over the past year included:

Acquiring the Allegra Nickel Project in Alaska.
Finalising a drilling campaign at the Benmara Project in the Northern Territory in conjunction with the BHP Group pursuant to the exploration and farm-in agreement executed with OZ Minerals Limited.
Pursuing an agreement with the Traditional Owners of the land that hosts the George Project in South Australia to gain the necessary clearances to commence a sampling program to assess the High Purity Silica Sand potential of that project.

NEW ENERGY METALS PROJECTS

Resolution is currently focussed on developing a portfolio of quality, New Energy Metals projects with commodities required to meet future global demands for a carbon-neutral economy. RML has a number of projects prospective for metals such as nickel, copper, high-purity silica sand, cobalt, manganese, lead, zinc, uranium and holds a stake in Midwest Lithium – all commodities in high demand to meet the challenges of the global energy transition and the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels.

ALLEGRA PROJECT, ALASKA

Nickel

OVERVIEW

The Allegra Project covers 295km[2] and is situated within the underexplored Wrangellia Terrane of central Alaska, along strike from Alaska Energy Metals’ Nikolai Project, Eureka Zone. The Eureka Zone is a low grade, high tonnage, strike extensive (>15km) disseminated nickel-copper-PGE sulphide prospect, hosted in the Nikolai Greenstone. Alaska Energy Metals is currently undertaking ~CA$6.5m resource drilling program, which aims to define a NI 43- 101/JORC compliant Resource.

Other significant prospective nickel claim blocks in the region are held by Skolai Exploration LLC, a Domestic limited liability company linked to KoBold Metals, a company that utilises machine learning and artificial intelligence for mineral exploration. Principal investors in KoBold Metals include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, a climate and technology fund backed by Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Bloomberg founder Michael Bloomberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

OWNERSHIP

Resolution was an early mover, staking claims in open ground in this relatively unexplored region. It now owns 100% of the Allegra Project.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

In June / July 2023, a senior RML staff geologist conducted a reconnaissance trip to assess access conditions, collect preliminary surface samples and visit the Anchorage core library to view historical drill core from the project area.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

BENMARA PROJECT, NORTHERN TERRITORY

Copper, Lead, Zinc, Uranium

OVERVIEW

Resolution Minerals holds a ground position of over 3,000km[2] on the northern edge of the South Nicholson Basin, one of Australia's most under-explored sedimentary basins. The Benmara project is cut by several fault systems, which cross-cut sedimentary packages, analogous to host rocks of the world-class McArthur River Mine, Walford Creek Deposit, and several other significant deposits in the region.

OWNERSHIP

The Benmara project remains 100% owned by Resolution Minerals with Oz Exploration Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP Group Limited (ASX: BHP) electing to withdraw from the Benmara Copper Project (Northern Territory) Heads of Agreement after meeting the Initial Period expenditure of $1.0m (ASX announcement 27/12/2023). Resolution believes the results of the stratigraphic drilling program support the technical merit for copper prospectivity within the South Nicholson Basin (ASX announcement 13/11/2023) and Resolution will seek to farm out the Benmara Project.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

A $150,000 Geophysical Drilling Collaboration (GDC) Grant by the Resourcing the Territory initiative for stratigraphic diamond drilling was awarded to the Company (ASX announcement 07/07/2023).
Resolution completed three deep stratigraphic diamond core drill holes, for a total depth of 2,002m, at the Benmara Battery Metals Project in the Northern Territory. The drilling was fully funded via a Farm-in & JV Agreement with the BHP Group (ASX announcement 21/09/2023).

CARRARA RANGE PROJECT, NORTHERN TERRITORY

Manganese, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Cobalt

OVERVIEW

The Carrara Range Project covers 1,271km[2] of terrain prospective for sediment hosted battery metals and iron-ore. The area is underexplored and only recently (2020), Geoscience Australia geologists identified a promising high-grade manganese mineral occurrence at surface within RML’s tenure.

OWNERSHIP

RML holds a 100% unencumbered interest in the tenements: EL32622, EL32620, EL32577, EL32621, EL32619 and EL32578.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

A helicopter reconnaissance field programme has enabled a highly effective and low-cost first-pass assessment of the manganese potential of the Plain Creek Formation with 41% Manganese Oxide Rock Chip has been identified (ASX announcement 26/09/2023).

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

GEORGE PROJECT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

High Purity Silica Sand, Uranium

OVERVIEW

The George Project covers 2,839km[2] in central South Australia. Historical exploration indicates that it is prospective for highpurity silica sand (HPSS), used in applications including the manufacture of solar panels, as well as uranium, which is a critical mineral in the transition to carbon neutral energy.

OWNERSHIP

Resolution owns 100% of the George Project.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

A Native Title Mining Agreement (NTMA) has been signed with the Dieri Aboriginal Corporation (TDAC) for the George Project.
A Heritage survey was undertaken in November 2023.

64NORTH PROJECT, ALASKA

Gold, Copper

OVERVIEW

The 64North Project lies in the highly prospective Tintina Gold Province, which hosts over 100 Moz of gold across a 2,000km east-west arc from the Yukon Territory in Canada to the west coast of Alaska. The 64North Project is a 357km[2] land package prospective for Pogo and Fort Knox style gold as well as copper-gold porphyry deposits. The project surrounds Northern Star’s Pogo Gold Mine, a world-class high-grade mine which has a total endowment of over 12 million ounces of gold.

OWNERSHIP

On 17 October 2019, Resolution signed a binding term sheet with Millrock Resources Inc (now known as Alaskan Energy Metals Ltd) (AEM) to acquire, via joint venture earn-in, up to 80% of the 64North Project in Alaska. AEM is an Alaskan based nickel exploration company listed on the TSX-V as AEMC.

On 25 January 2023, Resolution announced that it had met the expenditure requirements to earn a 51% interest in the 64North project (ASX announcement 25/01/2023) and that it would manage and operate the project as the majority interest holder on a co-funding basis.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

In June / July 2023, a senior RML staff geologist conducted a reconnaissance trip to file validate the new drill targets at East Pogo (ASX announcement 21/08/2023).

COMPANY SECRETARY

Jarek Kopias, BCom, CPA, AGIA, ACG (CS, CGP) Company Secretary / Chief Financial Officer (appointed 6 March 2017)

Mr Kopias is a Certified Practising Accountant and Chartered Secretary. Mr Kopias has 25 years’ industry experience in a wide range of financial and secretarial roles within the resources industry. As an accountant, Mr Kopias worked in numerous financial roles for companies, specialising in the resource sector – including 5 years at WMC Resources Limited’s (now BHP) Olympic Dam operations, 5 years at Newmont Mining Corporation - Australia’s corporate office and 5 years at oil and gas producer and explorer, Stuart Petroleum Limited (prior to its merger with Senex Energy Limited).

He is currently the Company Secretary of Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO), Iron Road Ltd (ASX: IRD), iTech Minerals Ltd (ASX:ITM), Austral Resources Australia Ltd (ASX:AR1), Copper Search Limited (ASX:CUS) and Patagonia Lithium Ltd (ASX:PL3). Mr Kopias has held similar roles with other ASX entities in the past and has other business interests with numerous unlisted public and private entities.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Resolution Minerals’ ongoing principal activities are the exploration for nickel and gold in Alaska (USA), battery metals in the Northern Territory and both uranium and silica sand in South Australia.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The net loss of the Group for the year after providing for income tax amounted to $1,671,868 (2023: $8,823,845). The reduction is primarily due to a reduction in impairment expense from the prior year, partly offset by share based payments expense related to options issued to directors as remuneration with approval obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

The risks associated with the projects disclosed below are those common to exploration activities generally. Exploration targets are conceptual in nature such that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

The main environmental and sustainability risks that Resolution Minerals currently faces are through ground disturbance when undertaking drilling or sampling activities. The Group’s approach to exploration through environmental, heritage and other clearances allows these risks to be minimised.

The financial impact of the projects listed below is a requirement for further expenditure where successful exploration leads to follow-up activities. All exploration activities may be funded by the Group’s own cash reserves or through joint venture arrangements.

Further technical detail on each of the prospects listed below is in the Review of Operation in the Annual Report.

Allegra Project

The Allegra Project, located in Alaska, is interpreted to be the eastward continuation of Alaska Energy Metals Corporation’s (TSX-V: AEMC) Nikolai Project which contains a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource. Based on publicly available geophysical data, the ultramafic complex hosting Nikolai and Allegra is estimated to be up to 29km long with Allegra extending across approximately 9km and parts of the remaining extension to the west.

The future strategy for the Allegra Project is to commence assessment and exploration activities on the most prospective targets.

64 North Project

The 64North Project in Alaska has been the focus of exploration efforts since October 2019 when the company entered into a binding agreement to earn-in to the project. The 64North Project surrounds the world-class Pogo Gold Mine, owned and operated by Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST) in the highly prospective Tintina Gold Province in Alaska. Resolution has earned a 51% interest in the 64North Project and completed year 3 earn-in requirements.

Resolution completed a significant drilling programme and reconnaissance sampling and ground geophysics at the 64North Project. An Independent Geologists Review was also undertaken.

The future strategy for the 64North Project is to continue exploration activities on the most prospective targets.

Benmara Project

During the year, the Group continued exploration at the Benmara Project in the Northern Territory. A drilling campaign was commenced in conjunction with the BHP Group pursuant to an exploration and farm-in agreement originally executed with OZ Minerals Limited.

The future strategy at the Benmara project is for Resolution to continue exploration activities on the most prospective targets .

Carrara Range Project

Early-stage exploration was continued at the Carrara Range project on the three granted tenements. The Group applied to the Northern Lanc Council (NLC) to progress Aboriginal Freehold Land tenement application (three) to grant stage. The application was unsuccessful on this occasion.

The future strategy at the Carrara Range Project is to continue exploration activities on the most prospective targets on the three granted tenements.

George Project

The Group has acquired the George Project (silica sand and uranium) in South Australia and commenced preliminary exploration activities. The future strategy at the George Project is for Resolution to continue exploration activity and follow up any success with drilling and field programmes.

Wollogorang Project

Resolution completed the sale of the Wollogorang Project to NT Minerals Limited (ASX: NTM) on the 17 October 2023.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

The Directors of Resolution Minerals Ltd present the Remuneration Report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) .

The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
B. Details of remuneration
C. Service agreements
D. Share-based remuneration
E. Other information

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The Group’s remuneration policy has been designed to align objectives of key management personnel with objectives of shareholders and the business, by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives through the issue of options and / or performance rights. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel and Directors to run and manage the Group. The key management personnel of the Group are the Board of Directors, Company Secretary and Executive Officers.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for its members and key management personnel of the Group is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the key management personnel, was developed by the Board. All key management personnel are remunerated on a consultancy or salary basis based on services provided by each person. The Board annually reviews the packages of key management personnel by reference to the Group’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses, options and performance rights. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of key management personnel and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Key management personnel are also entitled to participate in the Company’s Share Option Plan and Performance Share Plan as disclosed to shareholders in the Company’s 2023 General Meeting held on 25 July 2023 and announced to the ASX.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders (currently $400,000). Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group, except in relation to share price based performance rights. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the Company’s Share Option Plan and Performance Share Plan, which may exist from time to time.

During the reporting period, performance reviews of senior executives were not conducted. There were no remuneration consultants used by the Group during the period.

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board will have regard to a number of key performance metrics such as profitability, shareholders’ equity and the Company’s share price.

The following table shows the results of key performance indicators of the Group for the past 5 years:

Year	Profit/(Loss) after tax $	Earnings per share ($)	Share price at 30 June
2024	(1,671,868)	(0.12)	0.002
2023	(8,760,320)	(0.84)	0.004
2022	(1,003,371)	(0.16)	0.008
2021	(983,485)	(0.30)	0.021
2020	(1,281,967)	(1.02)	0.086

Performance based remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and other key management personnel. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options and/or performance rights to key management personnel to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Group believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2023 Annual General Meeting

Resolution Minerals received 99% “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2023 financial year. The Group did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM on its remuneration report.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION

The Directors believe that the Group has, in all material respects, complied with all particular and significant environmental regulations relevant to its operations.

The Group’s operations are subject to various environmental regulations under the Commonwealth and State Laws of Australia and Alaska, USA. The majority of its activities involve low level disturbance associated with exploration drilling programs. Approvals, licences, hearings and other regulatory requirements are performed, as required, by the Group’s management for each permit or lease in which the Group has an interest.

INDEMNITIES GIVEN AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS PAID TO AUDITORS AND OFFICERS

During the reporting year, the Company paid a premium to insure officers of the Company. The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include all officers.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company.

Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies is not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the reporting period, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified, or agreed to indemnity any current or former officer or auditor of the Company against a liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the reporting period Grant Thornton performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the reporting period by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for the following reasons:

The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Group and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the reporting period are set out in note 14 to the Financial Statements.

A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is included on page 20 of this Financial Report and forms part of this Directors’ Report.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Group is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest dollar.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company, or intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or any part of those proceedings.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2024

1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Resolution Minerals Ltd is a listed public company, registered and domiciled in Australia. Resolution Minerals Ltd is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 were approved and authorised by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2024.

The Financial Report has been prepared on an accruals basis, and is based on historical costs, modified by the measurement at fair value of selected on-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Comparatives

Comparative information for 2023 is for the full year commencing on 1 July 2022.

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are summarised below.

a) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 June 2024. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group control. The Group controls an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is fully transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 30 June.

A list of controlled entities is contained in note 18 to the Financial Statements.

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a Group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Profit or loss of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the noncontrolling interests based on their respective ownership interests.

Joint Arrangements

Under AASB11 Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group currently has a joint arrangement in relation to its 64North Project in Alaska, USA.

The Group recognises its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These have been incorporated into the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint operations are set out in note 6.

b) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to earn revenues.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

Management will also consider other factors in determining operating segments such as the existence of a line manager and the level of segment information presented to the Board of Directors.

Operating segments have been identified based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers – being the Board. The Group aggregates two or more operating segments when they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in the nature of the minerals targeted.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria, as prescribed by AASB 8, are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 8 – Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the Board in allocating resources have determined that there are two separately identifiable segments based on the level of expenditure, namely the Group’s US based operations and Australian based operations.

c) Finance income and expense

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, gains on disposal of financial assets and changes in fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss. Finance expenses comprise changes in the fair value of financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and impairment losses on financial assets.

Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method. All income is stated net of goods and services tax (GST).

d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that right of tenure is current and those costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area (or, alternatively by its sale) or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and operations in relation to the area are continuing.

Accumulated costs, in relation to an abandoned area, are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

e) Financial instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument, and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with AASB 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable).

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

amortised cost
fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs, finance income or other financial items.

Classifications are determined by both:

The entity business model for managing the financial asset
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

Subsequent measurement financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not designated as FVPL):

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVPL.

Impairment of Financial assets

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use forward looking information to recognize expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit losses (ECL) model’. Instruments in scope of these requirements included loans and other debt-type financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, trade receivables, contract assets recognised and measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group considers a range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

a) financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and
b) financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).
c) ‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging instruments).

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

f) Other Financial Assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity instruments as equity instruments designed at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation, and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at fair value through OCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

The Group elected to classify irrevocably its unlisted entity investments under this category.

Impairment of financial assets

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset’s carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

Fair value hierarchy

Certain accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair value, for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Group uses observable data as much as possible when measuring the fair value of an asset or liability. Fair value of assets or liabilities are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest input used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

g) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or loss.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

h) Assets Held for Sale

Assets classified as “held for sale” are measured at the lower of their carrying amount immediately prior to their classification as held for sale and their fair value less costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale are not subject to depreciation or amortisation.

i) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the reporting period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost.

j) Income Tax

Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements.

Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set-off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income (such as the revaluation of land) or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident subsidiaries have formed a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

l) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after tax effect and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

m) Share-based payments

The Group has provided payment to related parties in the form of share-based compensation, whereby related parties render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’). The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share options is determined using a Black and Scholes methodology depending on the nature of the option terms. The fair value in relation to performance rights is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The Black and Scholes option pricing model takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The Monte Carlo simulation used in pricing the performance rights takes into account the target share price resulting from meeting the KPI, the term of the right, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options and performance rights granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options and performance rights that are expected to become exercisable / vested. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options and performance rights that are expected to become exercisable / vested.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant parties become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.

Equity-settled share-based payments to other parties are measured at the fair value of goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which the transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted on the date the goods or services are received.

n) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends of economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

i) Key estimates – impairment The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

ii) Key judgements – exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

iii) Unlisted investment valuation

As disclosed in note 9, determination of the fair value of the investment in Midwest Lithium Ltd has been based on the proposed acquisition of Midwest Lithium Ltd by Armada Metals Ltd. This is deemed to be a Level 2 input in the determination of the investments fair value, as it is based on observable indirect market data, being the Armada Metals Ltd share price.

iv) Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with management and other parties by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share options is determined by the Board of Directors with reference to quoted market prices or using the Black-Scholes valuation method taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the equity instruments were granted. The fair value of performance rights is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions in relation to the valuation of the equity instruments are detailed in note 12 and note 17. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

o) Adoption of the new and revised accounting standards In the current year, there are no new and/or revised Standards and Interpretations adopted in these Financial Statements affecting presentation or disclosure and the reported result or financial position.

p) Recently issued accounting standards to be applied in future accounting periods There are no accounting standards that have not been early adopted for the year ended 30 June 2024 but will be applicable to the Group in future reporting periods.

The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision of income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on the Group’s understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

The Group’s subsidiary, Resolution Minerals Alaska Inc, is subject to income taxes in the USA based on the expenditures on the 64North project.

(i) Impairment

No impairment expense has been recognised in the current year. In the prior year Impairment for a the wholly owned Wollogorang Project the year was recognised where the Group concluded that capitalised expenditure is unlikely to be recovered by sale or future exploration. At each reporting date the Group reviews the carrying values of its exploration and evaluation assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. During the year no indicators of impairment were identified in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.

6b. ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

The wholly owned Wollogorang Project has been actively marketed with sales discussions well advanced as at 30 June 2023. As a result, an exploration asset has consequently been written down to the expected value of the sales proceeds (fair value less costs to sell). The excess carrying value of the exploration & evaluation asset has been impaired prior to the asset being classified into assets held for sale.

Significant observable inputs

The fair value less disposal costs of the investment in Midwest Lithium Ltd (Midwest) was based on the proposed acquisition of Midwest by Armada Metals Ltd (ASX:AMM or Armada) as announced by Armada on 27 May 2024. Armada has offered to issue Midwest shareholders 343,000,000 AMM shares, subject to AMM shareholder approval on 17 October 2024. Resolution’s shareholding of 9,836,076 shares in Midwest is valued at $0.01 per share, being the value of AMM shares at the time the transaction terms were announced.

Sensitivity analysis

The fair value measure of the investments is sensitive to changes in the unobservable inputs (both investments are now valued with observable inputs) which may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in significant observable inputs, with all other variables held constant.

Financial risk management policy

Risk management is carried out by the Managing Director under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate and credit risk.

a) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained for the coming months. Upcoming capital needs and the timing of raisings are assessed by the board.

Financial liabilities are expected to be settled within 12 months.

RESOLUTION MINERALS LTD ACN: 617 789 732

b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result in changes in market interest rates. Cash is the only asset affected by interest rate risk as cash is the Group’s only financial asset exposed to fluctuating interest rates.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on cash balances and term deposits held in interest bearing accounts. The Board constantly monitors its interest rate exposure and attempts to maximise interest income by using a mixture of fixed and variable interest rates, whilst ensuring sufficient funds are available for the Group’s operating activities. The Group’s net exposure to interest rate risk at 30 June 2024 would not have a material effect on the results.

c) Sensitivity analysis

Interest rate

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at reporting date. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.

2024		Effect on:
		Profit	Equity
	Sensitivity*	$	$
Interest rate	+ 1.65%	+11,871	+11,871
	- 1.65%	-11,871	-11,871
2023		Effect on:
		Profit	Equity
	Sensitivity*	$	$
Interest rate	+ 1.65%	+31,008	+31,008
	- 1.65%	-31,008	-31,008

*The method used to arrive at the possible change of 165 basis points (2023: 165 basis points) was based on the analysis of the absolute nominal change of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monthly issued cash rate. Historical rates indicate that for the past five financial years, interest rate movements ranged between 0 to 165 basis points. It is considered that 165 basis points a ‘reasonably possible’ estimate as it accommodates for the maximum variations inherent in the interest rate movement over the past five years.

The fair values of all financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their carrying values.

d) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter fluctuations in the exchange rate from the time a contract is executed to the time of settlement. The Group manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring forecast foreign cash flows and ensuring that where appropriate foreign currency is purchased to meet future foreign cash flow needs. The Group does not actively hedge currency and assesses the appropriateness of future foreign currency contracts on a case by case basis.

e) Net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their fair values.

22. GOING CONCERN BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of a going concern. During the year ended 30 June 2024 the Group recorded a net cash outflow from operating and investing activities of $1,070,488 and an operating loss of $1,671,868. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the entity successfully continuing the development of its exploration assets and raising additional funds which may be from a variety of means inclusive of, but not limited to issue of new equity, debt, asset sales or entering into joint venture arrangements on mineral properties.

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because Directors will not commit to expenditure unless sufficient funding has been sourced. Further, the Company has negotiated payment terms with a number of suppliers to manage its cash position. Resolution intends to fund ongoing operations via a number of strategies, including, but not limited to, raising further funds, support from directors in providing short term loan funding, sale of listed investments, reduction in commitments through sale or JV of existing tenure. Key Management Personnel have agreed to suspend payment of their fees in the short term to assist the Company’s cashflow requirement. Further, directors have agreed to provide financial support in the short term while the Company arranges further financial support through a capital raise.

If additional capital is not obtained, the going concern basis may not be appropriate, with the result that the group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities, other than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the financial report.

This Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement (CEDS) has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and includes required information for each entity that was part of the consolidated entity as at the end of the financial year.

None of the entities listed above are a trustee, partner or participant in a joint venture other than Resolution Minerals Alaska Inc which is in a joint venture with Alaska Energy Metals.

Consolidated entity

This CEDS includes only those entities consolidated as at the end of the financial year in accordance with AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10).

Determination of Tax Residency

Section 295 (3A) of the Corporations Act 2001 defines tax residency as having the meaning in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The determination of tax residency involves judgment as there are currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency.

In determining tax residency, the consolidated entity has applied the following interpretations:

Australian tax residency

The consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regard to the Tax Commissioner's public guidance in Tax Ruling TR 2018/5 Income tax: central management and control test of residency.

Foreign tax residency

Where necessary, the consolidated entity has used independent tax advisers in foreign jurisdictions to assist in its determination of tax residency to ensure applicable foreign tax legislation has been complied with.

Partnerships and Trusts

Australian tax law does not contain specific residency tests for partnerships and trusts. Generally, these entities are taxed on a flowthrough basis so there is no need for a general residence test. There are some provisions which treat trusts as residents for certain purposes but this does not mean the trust itself is an entity that is subject to tax.

Additional disclosures on the tax status of partnerships and trusts have been provided where relevant.
